Overview 

When the Mississippi Valley Surgery Center set out to expand and modernize its outpatient facility, Bush Construction was trusted to deliver this complex renovation. With a partnership spanning six years, Bush brought the expertise needed to manage a highly sensitive, occupied-space project. 

The result: A 15,566-square-foot addition and 9,482-square-foot renovation that improved patient care, workflow, and overall comfort.

Built Around Patient Safety 

A key challenge was executing the work in a fully operational surgical facility. Bush Construction prioritized safety and cleanliness, using: 

• Customized phasing plans to allow construction during ongoing operations 
• Special working hours and life safety measures to reduce disruption 
• Negative air pressure systems and temporary walls to protect patients 
• Daily coordination with medical staff and building owners 

A Trusted Healthcare Partner 

Over the course of six years, Bush Construction partnered with MVSC on numerous interior and exterior improvements, including: 

• Build-outs for ENT Professional Services, Iowa Women’s Health, and the Plastic Surgery Center 
• Vascular Suite improvements, including a new sterile storage room and physician break room 
• Renovations for Orthopedic Specialists in Davenport and Clinton, Iowa 

These phased, occupied-space projects succeeded because of detailed planning, open communication, and strong collaboration with MVSC. 

 

Results: Mississippi Valley Surgery Center’s investment in this expansion reflects its commitment to providing top-tier surgical care. Bush Construction’s work ensured a smooth, safe, and efficient transformation—delivered with the expertise and care healthcare projects demand.
